It’s strange how this intro is part of a series where a toaster thinks it’s a robot, a teddy bear that makes puns, and a cat that tells you to go to sleep.
I miss the tone the series had, I wish Mr Meguro would go back makign a more atmospheric persona game again, perhaps with part of the old staff that did the original 3 persona games (P1, P2 IS & EP, not P3), to create a mixup of the old and new series peopel got accustom to it.
@@Evilriku13 Meguro is just one of many of atlus' music composers, he didn't write the story or even do much of the old game's soundtracks. P1 and the P2 games were written by Tadashi Satomi while 3-5 were written by Katsura Hashino. P5 was also Hashino's last game as writer for persona so p6 could actually end up returning to the old tone, but its most likely downhill from here.
For some reason it reminds me of the opening of Shin Megami Tensei 1 with the quick flashes of areas and events from later in the game with ominous music playing.
Intros then : random shots from the street with a butterfly flying around Intros today : how much can we stuff in a minute Still , after playing the game , the intro fits well
I like how they show in the end Maki’s hospital room and how it’s empty which can show how idealized Maki doesn’t even know what a hospital is but it can show a lot more too.
A good intro to a game will tell you the mood and style of the game. From this, I can gather that Persona 1 is less of a game and more of an artistic experience revolving around the meaning of existence and how much every second matters.
Yep, that's the best way to explain p1 because of its unique demon and persona design, battle background, weird and humorous writing and especially it's (psx) soundtrack. It's really feels like developer were flexing their creative muscles.
love this intro! It's so omnious and calm, pushes me to the edge and sets up the game's theme perfectly. Not just the ambience and the music, but also Zhwangzi's text at the beggining. I, and many more out there, will always love this weird Jungian trip that is Persona 1.
for some reason i don't know why, the music, the tone, the images, give me a chill in the spine of nostalgia even though i never played this game. maybe it's because it reminds me of things of my childhood.
I’ve honestly always preferred the more moody and atmospheric openings of the original Persona games. This one in particular sets up the tone of the game well and some neat visuals as well as some decent foreshadowing and symbolism. I think EP PSP’s opening does a good job of being more modern while keeping the original tone and atmosphere in check.
its suppose to be the series was done with such a tone in mind before p3 came along and did a reboot of the series, more or less stripping it completly of what the games once were and cared about.
People say Persona 1 is bad. My Response: If it wasn't for this game, then we wouldn't have any of the other games. I also agree that the Dancing games are complete crap.
People that say the first two games are bad are just saying that with a mindset that compares them to modern games. They were received very well upon original release. The complaints I have heard revolve around the amount of level grinding involved and load times before fights. Not really anything that makes a game bad. Just an oldschool system that punishes you for avoiding enemies. I personally find the first two games better than the modern age persona games we see now. They're so much more gritty. Love em
@Noah Schoenradt I found level grinding in Persona 1 to be really easy, just have one character cast Nuclear against a group of enemies that are weak to it. I remember beating Kandori (Or Guido as he is called here) while three of my characters were in the Early 70's.
@@bamboozler3302 Her Name's Mary in the US Version because it was one of the first games Atlus translated over here (6 people in total translated the game) and they americanized some things including names. In the original JP release her name's Maki.
Como toda série que se preze, conforme o tempo passa a série ganha novas mecânicas e melhora, se o 1 fosse melhor que o 3 e o 4 a série não prestaria, pois falhou em evoluir. Há gente que prefere mais o 1 do que o 3 e o 4 mais que o 3, isso vai de opinião.
@@blxckghxst7840 then you're probably not familiar with the Persona series if you like a shit show of a game. It's peramount to saying Metal Gear Survive and Fallout76 are good, yeah you can like them as tastes are subjective, that still doesn't take away from any of the arguments that were thrown at them tho as they are heavily flawed in different aspects.
This intro sets up the tone of the game perfectly, and hints at the story in ways that'll only make sense after you've played the game, too
Persona 1: i dreamt i was a butterfly
Persona 5: ice skate
I love to call this persona game "Revelations: WHERE THE FUCK DO I GO-"
AVGN: "Its one of those "where the fuck do I have to go" kinda games" :P
And also... "It's cool that the map is 3d but where is the hospital and why is there also a clinic!"
You mean Shin Megami Tensei: Revelations: Persona?
@@agedstring no, Revelations: WHERE THE FUCK DO I GO-, I think you're thinking of its remake, Shin Megami Tensei: THE FUCKING ENCOUTER RATES HELP

Yeah, that's personally why I prefer Persona 1 and both games of Persona 2.

*that forces you to go to sleep
Shut the fuck up god you are not funny at all.
The slowest intro of all the persona franchise. And that pay off at the end with the logo was worth it.

P2 IS PSX tho... that slaps

Damn this intro just REEKS of that 90s PSX anime intro aesthetic similar to the intros of the Twilight Syndrome games and The Silver Case.
Wish this sort of atmosphere returned.
@@2deep5u Dox indie game devs with death threats in order to come up with new projects with this kind of atmosphere.
Takuto Maruki: It’s rewind time
I've always loved slower intros like this
always so moody and atmospheric
what a beautiful and depressing intro at the same time..
Love how in both intros they show Maki as an important character
if only the newer Persona games kept this tone.
Then the series would be dead. Modern audiences would not accept something like this - times change.
@@LEWIS1992 Series being dead lowkey better than P5 I'm ngl

Completely contrasts the hyped theming of the game. I love it!

That's more the meaning of persona 3. But good guess nonetheless.

The town made of blocks gives me memories of the Ispy computer game we'd play at school when I was like 5
Bro it's 4am it's too deep for this shit
Man this intro creeps me out It feels like someone wanted to make a game based on junji Ito's works
The logo tops it all off
what the fuck is persona revelations ? All my homies play megami ibunroku persona
yeee
Aw man, I need that Konami logo breaking out of the ground, as well as the white PSX logo to complete the nostalgia.
The hate this intro gets is insane, not every intro needs to be super upbeat and fun

I will admit, I love Revelations more than SMT Persona, don't kill me
same, this one just hits different with the atmosphere and old music
Isn’t that an unpopular take though?
Who’s here after Atlus tweeted this opening?
In my persona game the Starting quote will be "Every decision has ripple effect"
This intro scares me
Same, it’s so ominous, could easily be used as a horror movie trailer and no one would bat an eye
its suppose to be
the series was done with such a tone in mind before p3 came along and did a reboot of the series, more or less stripping it completly of what the games once were and cared about.
I kinda wanna how it would feel to have that butterfly dream
Perhaps you're having it right now. Who's to say?
Persona 1 is an epic game however
That last scene in the opening
I'm not really sure but I don't think that's how falling blocks work
I remember a remix of this song but I can't find it for the life of me!!!

I just looked at the fandom of megami tensei, and good lord, the negative critism about Persona 1 is huge.

"oh that's cool" (skips 10, skips 10, skips 10)

definitivamente prefiero la intro de la versión de PSP

Without this game, you would have no persona to play.
